Chen Village Radish

　　Chen Village white radish has long been renowned and is said to have been cultivated for over 500 years. It features a green top and white body, with a well-proportioned shape from end to end. The flesh is fine and smooth, juicy and tender, with a sweet yet slightly spicy taste that is crisp and delicious. Eaten raw, it stimulates the appetite and benefits digestion; cooked, it nourishes yin and strengthens kidneys. Regular consumption can help cleanse the blood and regulate qi, making it even better than many medicines. A local saying goes: “Eat radish in the morning and ginger at night, and you won’t need to ask the doctor for a prescription” (Linyi)
